Summary on electrochemical cells and redox reactions:

Electrochemical cells (or batteries) can be defined as devices capable of transforming chemical energy into electrical energy through spontaneous reactions of redox, in which electron transfer occurs.

Redox it is a chemical reaction in which there is the occurrence of oxidation and reduction of atoms of substances (chemical species) present in the process.

Oxidation is the loss of electrons by an atom of a chemical species, while reduction is the gain of electrons by an atom of a chemical species.

Thus, during an oxirreduction reaction, electrons move from the species that loses them towards the species that will receive them. This "movement" results in the formation of an electric current (or electrical energy) as occurs with batteries, for example.

In bullet points: explain the difference between thermal energy, heat and temperature.

sergeinik [125]

Thermal Energy- is the energy that comes from heat. This heat is generated by the movement of tiny particles within an object. The faster these particles move, the more heat is generated.

Heat-energy is the result of the movement of tiny particles called atoms, molecules or ions in solids, liquids and gases. Heat energy can be transferred from one object to another. The transfer or flow due to the difference in temperature between the two objects.

Temperature- is a measure of how hot or cold something is; specifically, a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in an object, which is a type of energy associated with motion.

An aqueous solution is found to be 3.64% potassium nitrate by mass, how many grams of solution should I evaporate the water from

Sidana [21]

Answer:

513.74 g of solution

Explanation:

% Mass grams are defined as the grams that are dissolved in salt (in this case, it would be potassium nitrate) dissolved every 100 g of the solution. Having this information, you can calculate the amount of solution that has dissolved 18.7 g of potassium nitrate, which is what we want to obtain.

The relationship is:

3.64 g of potassium nitrate _____ 100 g solution

18.7 g of potassium nitrate _____ X = 513.74 g of solution

Calculation: 18.7g x 100g / 3.64g = 513.74 g of solution

So, I need 513.74 g of solution to get 18.7g of potassium nitrate by evaporating it.
